Has anyone ever considered a re edit, with 4 movies and what 7 seasons of a tv show there’s got to be a better way to the story. The last movie EndGame ( I think?) didn’t even make sense. I believe both Highlanders were in the pilot of the show plus both being in EndGame there’s got to be a way to blend these two together better without forsaking the the first movie. Maybe in the same way In Thy Image was done taking a tv show approach. I don’t know just thought I’d throw it out there.
With these movies from the 80s it is often the same for me. I remember them as good or even great movies. One of them was HIGHLANDER, cool fighting, nice time-warp story, great score. But having seen this a year ago I had to realize that times change... bad acting overall, the score unbearable and the fighting scenes... not worth being mentioned, but of course worst of all: Christopher Lambert. But still, when I watched this in the 80s it was great. Nostalgia is cool sometimes.
There was only one. One Highlander, a closed entity, with no sequels. Yes, there were some cretinous antifilms that bore its name later on and pretended to be sequels, but they had less to do with Highlander than Joel Schumacher's films have with Batman.

I like your idea and with film number five being filmed as we speak it would be nice to revisit the series as a whole. I know a lot of people are divided on the films and spin-offs but I enjoyed them. I had an idea that would be nice to see, an edit of the first film and The Final Dimension-aka-The Sorcerer and end it there or maybe add some of the Quickening on the end being that you get some flash backs that relate to the first movie and of course the return of Connery.
